Sex and diabetes: new study tracks blood sugar risks during intimacy

NCT ID NCT07286500

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether sexual activity raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who use insulin and continuous glucose monitors. Researchers will track 100 participants for 3 months, comparing glucose levels on days with and without sexual activity. The goal is to understand real-world risks and help reduce fear around intimacy.
